cycles.



Child Lock

The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings

during operation.



More economical by Intelligent Wash System

Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water temperature, and then

determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water

consumption.



Low noise speed control system

By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the

spinning noise level.



Safety device (Aqua lock)

Aqua lock System is designed for detecting water leak during operation to prevent

water from flooding over the floor.



Steam Washing and Refresh

Steam Washing features upgraded washing performance with low energy

consumption. Refresh cycle reduces wrinkles from dry clothes.



Automatic Wash Load Detection

Automatically detects the load and optimizes the washing time.

Make sure that air circulation around the washer is not impeded by carpets, rug etc.

• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor with pieces of wood, cardboard or similar

materials under the washer.

• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the washer next to a gas cooker or coal burning stove,

an insulation(85x60cm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or stove,

must be inserted between the two appliance.

• The washer must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop below 0°C.

• Please ensure that when the washer is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the

event of a breakdown.

• Adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided ensuring the appliance is stable,

and a clearance of approximately 20mm is left between the top of the washer and the

underside of the work-top.

Level adjustment



Concrete floors



Wooden floors (Suspended floors)

1. Adjusting the washing machine level properly prevents excessive

noise and vibration.

Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a

corner of the room.

2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet as required.

(do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet)

Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor and

then check that the appliance is perfectly level. (use a spirit level)



After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of the base of

the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.

❊ Diagonal Check

When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the machine

should not move up and down at all. (Please, check both of two directions)

If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.

• Install washer on a flat hard floor.



Tile floors (Slippery floors)

• Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm

sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)



Tread Mate is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.

• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot,

at least 15mm thick under the washer, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws.

• If possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.



Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.



You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG svc dept.

Important!

• Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensure long, regular and reliable operation.

• The washer must be absolutely horizontal and stand firmly in position.

• It must not “Seesaw” across corners under load.

• The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.

• Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to

excessive vibration and unbalance errors.

In the case that the washing machine is installed on a raised

platform, it must be securely fastened in order

to eliminate the risk that it might fall off.
